Question

A nurse reads in a client's chart that he or she has gender dysphoria. The nurse determines that the client understands the diagnosis when making what statement

Answer 1

Gender dysphoria means that my biological sex does not match my gender identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two main types of sex the biological sex and the social-psychological sex. The first one is the sex that is assigned at birth. The second type of sex, the social-psychological sex, is how a person identifies herself or himself, in other words, gender identity. When these two types of sex are the opposite (a woman that identifies herself as a man or man that identifies himself as a woman) the patient has gender dysphoria.
